President's Letter: October 2007

Legacy and SNMP are two topics that are not normally associated with each other, as they tend to be on opposite sides of the monitoring spectrum. The big exception, however, is when you are using DPS equipment to bridge that gap.

We specialize in both legacy and SNMP monitoring applications in their various permutations, and one of the most popular is mediating legacy protocols to SNMP. So if you want to learn more about legacy monitoring, or get an informative technical overview of SNMP, this issue of The Protocol ezine is just what you are looking for.

I'm also very pleased to announce our first T/Mon Users Group meeting is coming up this November. The T/Mon user community is getting quite large, and the best way for DPS to select the new features and functionality is to get it straight from our client base. We expect this to be a very synergistic experience. I personally look forward to seeing those of you who make the trip to Fresno.
